It would be wise of MS to make compatible drivers that works with PHP as more and more apps are being built for MySQL. The lack of a proper (PDO) driver can cause devlopers to not build software solutions for MSSQL.

I know MS is working on drivers for PHP 5.3 but it's not clear if they will ever produce a PDO driver for PHP. PDO is the way to go. The other thing is that MS latest version of the sqlsrv driver requires SQL Native Client 2008 and is not compatible with previous versions of the client. This means that client will have to either install or upgrade their version SQL Client. It would be great if the driver did not require an addition software package to be installed.

Yeah, I know the feeling. Myself I've only really used MSSQL and MySQL to any great lengths, and sometimes working with the former felt like I was pulling my own teeth!
